Big Brother 2

 is the second season of NJ's Big Brother, which premiered on December 1, 2017, and ended with a live reunion on January 11, 2017.

After 20 days, Chloe D. was crowned the winner over Zyler M. in a 4-3 Jury vote.

Production
A second season was confirmed at the reunion of on November 13, 2017. Applications opened on November 14, 2017, and closed two weeks later on November 28. In total 18 people applied, 6 were cut from the casting, and the remaining 12 went on to become the houseguests competing in the game. The full cast of 12 were revealed on November 30, 2017.

Each "week" (a cycle of 2-3 days) the houseguests compete for the title of Head of Household. The HOH must take on the responsibility of nominating two houseguests for eviction. The winner of the Power of Veto then has the ability to save one of the two nominees, forcing the HOH to name a replacement nominee, or they may choose not to use it. The final two nominees on the block at the end of each week must then face the votes of all their fellow housemates, excluding the HOH. The person with the most votes is evicted, with the HoH making the final decision in the event of a tie. Once only the final two houseguests remain, a jury of previously evicted houseguests cast their votes to decide the winner of Big Brother.
